Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the number of parts to facilitate assembly by operationally connecting an outside handle and an inside handle to a door lock device through a common rod. CONSTITUTION:When an operating knob 4 which is slidably installed to an outside handle 3 mounted to a door panel 2 is depressed, a roller 3 is pressed against the receiving face 8a of an intermediate lever 8 mounted to the handle 3 so that it can be turned around a shaft 16, and rolled. Thereafter, the intermediate lever 8 is rotated about the shaft 16 to operate a common rod for operationally connecting the lever 8 to a door lock device to allow the door lock device to be operated. Besides, when an inside handle turnably mounted to an inner panel is operated, the door lock device can be operated by the common rod through an operating rod 10 and the intermediate lever 8.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A currently used outdoor handle for an automobile is a pull-up type in which a door lock is unlatched by manually pulling it upward, and the handle can be gripped by hand, and at the same time, can be rotated to the back side of the handle It is roughly divided into a grip type that releases the door lock latch by operating the operating lever attached to. The pull-up type door handle has the advantage of not protruding from the surface of the door panel and is widely used in various passenger cars, but the door opening operation is somewhat complicated because the handle must be pulled upward with the palm up. Is. In this respect, although the grip type door handle slightly projects from the surface of the door panel, the door opening operation can be performed naturally, and the handle can be reliably gripped when the door is closed, so the door closing operation is also easy. Grip-type door handles are disclosed, for example, in German Laid-Open Publication No. 2,809,706 or US Pat. No. 2,397,671.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of a door handle connecting device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

1 to 5 show a first embodiment of the present invention. In the door handle connecting device 1 of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG.
And a grip type outside handle 3 attached to the outside of the door panel 2 shown in FIG.
The operation knob 4 movably attached to the base 6, a base 6 attached to the inner panel 5 shown in FIG. 4, an inside handle 7 rotatably attached to the base 6, and a shaft attached to the outside handle 3. An intermediate lever 8 rotatably attached by 16 and an intermediate lever 8
A common rod 9 for operatively connecting a door lock device (not shown) and an operating rod 10 connected between the inside handle 7 and the intermediate lever 8 are provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the operation knob 4 is a recess 3 of the outside handle 3.
It is placed in a and is pushed outward by a spring 11. A roller 13 is attached to the inner end of the operation knob 4.
The roller 13 contacts the receiving surface 8a of the intermediate lever 8. The intermediate lever 8 has a substantially U-shaped cross section and has a pair of arm portions 8b and 8c. The arm portion 8b is formed with a round hole 14 to which the end portion of the common rod 9 is connected, and the arm portion 8c is connected to the end portion of the operating rod 10 to have an arc-shaped elongated hole 15 formed therein.
Is formed. As shown in FIG. 2, the intermediate lever 8 is constantly urged to the initial position by the return spring 18.

In the above structure, when the operation knob 4 is pressed, the roller 13 presses the receiving surface 8a of the intermediate lever 8 and rolls on the receiving surface 8a, as shown in FIG. Rotates about the shaft 16, the shared rod 9 can be operated to operate the door lock device. At this time, the operating rod 10 connected to the elongated hole 15 is not operated. When the inside handle 7 is operated, the door lock device can be operated by the common rod 9 via the operation rod 10 and the intermediate lever 8. At this time, since the intermediate lever 8 rotates in the direction away from the operation knob 4, it does not contact the operation knob 4. In this way, each of the operation knob 4 and the inside handle 7 can operate the door lock device via the intermediate lever 8 and the common rod 9. In the second embodiment of the present invention, a bracket 17 attached to the outside of the door panel 2 and a pull-up type outside handle 3 rotatably attached to the bracket 17 and having a protrusion 3b are provided. The intermediate lever 8 is rotatably attached to the bracket 17. The protruding portion 3b is in contact with the receiving surface 8a of the intermediate lever 8. Each of the protruding portion 3b of the outside handle 3 and the inside handle 7 can operate the door lock device via the intermediate lever 8 and the common rod 9 similarly to the first embodiment.

In the above-described embodiment, the structure in which the outside handle and the intermediate lever are not connected by the rod but the outside handle and the intermediate lever are directly operatively connected is shown. It is also possible to connect by means of a rod and to directly actuate the inside handle and the intermediate lever without an operating rod. That is, as the third embodiment of the present invention, the operation knob 4 and the intermediate lever 8 of the grip type outside handle are provided.
Are connected by an operating rod, an inside handle 7 having a projecting portion is rotatably attached to the base 6, and the intermediate lever 8 and the door lock device are operatively connected by a common rod 9. As a result, the inside handle 7
Each of the protrusion and the operation knob 4 can operate the door lock device via the intermediate lever 8 and the common rod 9.

As a fourth embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion 3 is provided on the bracket 17 attached to the outside of the door panel 2.
A pull-up type outside handle 3 having b is rotatably attached, the outside handle 3 is connected to an intermediate lever 8 by an operating rod, and a shared rod 9 operatively connects the intermediate lever 8 and a door lock device. As a result, the protrusion 3b of the inside handle 7 and the inside handle 7 can operate the door lock device via the intermediate lever 8 and the common rod 9. The door handle connecting device of the present invention has a structure in which both the outside handle and the inside handle are operatively connected to the door lock device via a common rod. Since the door handle connecting device 1 according to the present invention operatively connects both the outside handle and the inside handle to the door lock device via the common rod, the number of parts can be reduced and the assembling can be facilitated.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, an inexpensive door handle connecting device having a small number of parts and easy to assemble can be obtained.
